The eoPortal also contains a complementary database of Airborne Sensors containing detailed information of over 40 flight campaigns from the last 25 years. Megha-Tropiques satellite was built by ISRO and CNES as a Joint Venture. Our database contains over 1000 in-depth articles.

The satellite is meant to study water cycle and energy exchanges in tropical region for weather prediction and climate research.

NESDIS is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Department of Commerce. Megha-Tropiques, with its unique combination of scientific payloads and its special near-equatorial orbit (offering improved data sampling of the ITCZ), is expected to provide valuable data for climate research.
The eoPortal also contains a complementary database of Airborne Sensors containing detailed information of over 40 flight campaigns from the last 25 years. Hence, a ground resolution of about 10 km is adequate for these observations. Visit the eoPortal database to find out about spaceborne EO missions and sensors to discover more about past, operational and future missions.

Megha-Tropiques (or MT) is a cooperative experimental mission of ISRO and CNES, the space agencies of India and France, with the objective to study the convective systems (water cycle and energetic exchanges) that affect the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone), in particular in the latitudes between 10º and 20º, with satisfactory temporal sampling.

The Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is part of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS). The main objective of this mission is to understand the life cycle of convective systems that influence the tropical weather and climate and their role in associated energy and moisture budget of the atmosphere in tropical regions.
